The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

Wolf forest.

King's Avenue is too small to speak.

Several forest tracking dogs appeared suddenly.

The sound of horseshoes is not the sound of walking on the bluestone road on the hard ground, but the low, dull sound that is characteristic of walking on the forest soil.

A horse emerged from the woods, followed by a second, a third, and a short while, a total of seven horses appeared.

More forest hounds appeared, running before and after the horse, sniffing.

The leading tracking dogs began to deviate from King's Road and tracked to the northeast.

"The untouchables went to the northeast," said a freerider.

"Leave a mark," the other rider said.

They are all scouts with bows and arrows on their backs. But there is no noble family crest on their chests or collars.

This is a group of temporary free riders.

They can join any nobleman who wants to use soldiers.

The only lord in the wolf forest is the Glover family in Deep Forest. In addition to the branches, trunks, trees and forests of the four major families, the vassals also have many small families.

The Glover family power is the overlord in the wolf forest.

The large and small families in and on the edge of the wolf forest are under their control.

Their territory extends to the edge of Long Lake.

Passing the long lake by the wolf forest is the territory of the Amber family in Hearth City.

"The knights of the Branch Family said that the man in black they encountered last night possessed a magic sword that cuts iron like mud. What do you think?" a free rider laughed.

"They don't say so, how can they live up to the face? Noble knights are like this. It is okay to bully us at ordinary times. When they encounter bloodthirsty and tyrannical aboriginal tribes in the forest, they will be exposed." A little rider laughed. .

"Yeah, they were all disarmed by a group of aboriginal tribes, which is ridiculous. The noble soldiers of Deep Limburg have taken care of them for too long."

"Aren't the noble soldiers all the victorious generals on the wine table?" a free rider without a helmet laughed.

"Wrong, there is also the girl's den. They are still warriors in the girl's den. When taxing, they have always been invincible in the face of unarmed villagers."

Hahaha!

The seven free riders laughed together.

Amidst the laughter, they left a mark and followed the hound.

Soon, horses hooves murmured, and a miscellaneous cavalry appeared. The leader was the cavalry who broke up last night from the branch family. They called for freedom along the way in the name of Lord Glover of Deep Limburg and the four nobles of branches, trunks, trees and forests. Horsemen, mercenaries, and small family private cavalry squads soon gathered nearly two hundred cavalry. Some of these cavalry have bright armor, some are simple chain mail, and some are poor mercenary riders. Only the leather body is wrapped and there is no armor. However, as long as the killing mission is completed, the rewards of the four nobles will not be less. Maybe in addition to the Golden Dragon and the Silver Deer, you can get a second-hand armor or something.

Deep Forest Castle is hundreds of miles away, and the four great nobles also live in the depths of the wolf forest near the sea. If they need to go back to rescue soldiers and then encircle the Mudun tribe, these cunning untouchables have long been hiding. In the wolf forest, every time the untouchables were encircled and suppressed, the infantry did not have the advantage of speed and had to rely on the cavalry to outflank the flanks. In order not to be evacuated by the Wooden Shield tribe, it is the fastest way to recruit large and small families and free riders along the road.

In just one night, there were nearly two hundred cavalry, half of whom were archers.

This was also to deal with the mysterious man in black, and the cavalry of the Branch Family specifically asked everyone to bring bows and arrows.

However, the private cavalry in the small family did not believe the mysterious man in black holding the black magic sword that the branch cavalry said, not to mention the free cavalry and mercenary cavalry, they were just being defeated and scared. The brave noble cavalry had a face, and didn't just laugh in front of him.

And the cavalry of the branch family who have been supplemented by the fierce cavalry have greatly increased their confidence. No matter how powerful the man in black is, he is just a person. As long as he is found, dozens of people will shoot a volley with an order, and that guy will become Hedgehog.

At about noon, a large number of cavalry troops came to the place where the scout team left their marks, so everyone turned and galloped to the northeast. The northeast is the direction of the wolf forest. The more you go, the sparser the woods, the easier the road will go. This is the most desired route for the cavalry. The cavalry chased, afraid that the people of the untouchable tribe would go to the place full of black thorns, or simply flee to the Wolfwood Mountains. Once up the mountain, the speed advantage of the cavalry would be lost. Horses cannot enter the steep mountains.

"They went to the direction of Changhu, wanting to enter the territory of the Amber family. It seems that they think we can't cross the border to chase and suppress, haha, really a group of stupid untouchables." The branch cavalry captain said loudly.

The cavalry burst into laughter: Those untouchables are really stupid enough to think that they will be fine if they leave the territory of Deep Limburg.

Facing the untouchable tribes in the wolf forest, whether it is Deep Limburg or Hearth City, the views of the lord and nobles are unanimous. Once they offend the nobles, kill without mercy, the authority of the territory can be temporarily ignored. Whether it is Hearth City or Deep Limburg, everyone is a vassal of the Stark family.

"Target Long Lake, speed up!" the cavalry captain shouted.

The woods are getting sparser, and the cavalry can completely let go of speed.

The cavalry suddenly agreed, and they whipped their horses and galloped towards Changhu.

The clutter of horses' hoofs concealed the sound of bowstrings, and as everyone galloped, an arrow flew, hitting the front door of the leading cavalry captain.

If the captain of the cavalry was hit in the chest by Juli, the people flew backwards, the cavalry behind him evaded one after another, and the team suddenly became chaotic.

Huh!

The captain fell to the ground, already dead.

"Enemy Attack!"

The deputy captain who came up temporarily after the defeat last night shouted: "Enemy attack!"

Whoosh!

An arrow flew and shot through the deputy captain's neck.

The deputy captain crashed down.

The captain of the family's private cavalry team saw the ornamentation of the shadow lynx on the arrow tail and shouted: "The formation is the roaring stone people."

The cavalry team immediately set up an array. Those with shields raised their shields, those with long swords withdrew their long swords, and those who used bows and arrows took down their bows and arrows, drawing their bows and setting arrows. The team quickly deployed into a charge formation, although it was a bit chaotic, but very fast. Shows the super high fighting quality of mercenaries and free riders.

Shuqi at the back of the team heard a roaring Shimin blocking the road in front, and immediately turned around and turned back.

Whoosh whoosh!

A few black short arrows flew out and inserted them into their bodies without armor protection.

Ahhhhh!

Several screams sounded, and several poor mercenary riders who wanted to follow the team to fish in troubled waters fell to the ground.

"There are also people behind." A branch cavalry in charge of breaking the back shouted.

Whoosh whoosh!

Accompanied by this shout was a shower of arrows shot from all directions.

More than a dozen cavalry without shield protection were hit by arrows, and several horses without armor protection were also hit by arrows.

The screams of people and the screams of horses rang together.

All around, the ambushing roaring stone people all appeared.

The entire cavalry team fell into the circle of roaring stone people!

The strange thing is that this time, the croup stone people didn't rush up arrogantly, but kept their position.

This is something that all mercenaries and free riders, as well as the large and small noble cavalry in the wolf forest, have never seen or heard of it.

Croup Shimin is a mob with no tactics, no military discipline, and no concept of positional warfare.

One person is a dragon, a group of people is a pot of insects.

"Don't panic, everyone, break through with me." The cavalry captain of a small family shouted with a sword.

He charged forward first.

Then, he heard the roar of a shadow lynx from a hundred meters away, and a man in black suddenly appeared on the back of a huge shadow lynx that was rarely seen, and rushed towards him.

The captain of the cavalry tried his best to restrain the horse that was panicking and hissing and wanted to turn around and flee, and shouted, "Archer, prepare to—"

Dozens of archers behind him immediately opened their bows and set arrows, and under the order they aimed at the man in black and the shadow lynx.

Although the sudden appearance of the shadow lynx and the man in black is daunting, a volley of shots and a rain of arrows can shoot the lynx and the man in black into hedgehogs.
